Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on an analysis of the comments 

received, we have made no changes to 

the Preliminary Results. 

Rates for Non-Examined Respondents 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a weighted-average 

dumping margin to be determined for 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation, for 

guidance when determining the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely on the 

basis of facts available. 

In this review, we calculated 

weighted-average dumping margins of 

1.24 percent and 6.16 percent for 

Sentury and SRT, respectively. With 

two respondents under individual 

examination, Commerce normally 

calculates: (A) a weighted average of the 

estimated dumping rates calculated for 

the examined respondents; (B) a simple 

average of the estimated dumping rates 

calculated for the examined 

respondents; and (C) a weighted average 

of the estimated dumping rates 

calculated for the examined respondents 

using each company’s publicly-ranged 

U.S. sales values for the merchandise 

under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects 

the rates closest to (A) as the most 

appropriate rate for all other producers 

and exporters.6 As a result of this 

comparison, we assigned a dumping 

margin of 4.52 percent to the nonexamined companies.7

Final Results of Review 

We determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins for the period 

January 6, 2021, through June 30, 2022. 

Exporter/producer 

Weight-average 

dumping margin 

(percent) 

Sentury Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd ...................................................................................................................................................... 1.24 

Sumitomo Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................ 6.16

Sanpo (Thailand) Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................................... 4.52 

Zhongce Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................... 4.52 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.8

Disclosure 

Because we made no changes to the 

calculations performed in connection 

with the Preliminary Results, there are 

no new calculations to disclose, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), for 

these final results. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. As Sentury’s 

and SRT’s weighted-average dumping 

margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e., 

less than 0.50 percent), for these final 

results, Commerce has calculated 

importer-specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of dumping calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales to the total 

entered value of those sales. Where we 

do not have entered values for all U.S. 

sales to a particular importer, we will 

calculate an importer-specific, per-unit 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total quantity of those sales.9

To determine whether an importerspecific, per-unit assessment rate is de 

minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an 

importer-specific ad valorem ratio based 

on estimated entered values. Where 

either Sentury’s and SRT’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.10

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by either 

Sentury or SRT for which it did not 

know that the merchandise it sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate (i.e., 17.06 percent) 11 if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.12

the Final Results of the Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review of Polyethylene 

Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip; 2021,’’ dated 

concurrently with this memorandum (Issues and 

Decision Memorandum). 

For the companies that were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

review-specific average rate, calculated 

as noted in the ‘‘Rate for Non-Examined 

Respondents’’ section above. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rates for the reviewed 

companies will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review; (2) for producers or exporters 

not covered in this review but covered 

in a prior completed segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published in the most recently 

completed segment; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established in the most 

recently completed segment for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 17.06 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation in this 

proceeding.13 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).
